Laura Lexx

Comedy Heaven is back, this time with a twist celebrating a very special birthday. Join Leicester Comedy Festival on the final night of 2023’s mammoth event to celebrate 30 of years of the festival. Guests include Nish Kumar (The Mash Report), Arthur Smith (QI, Have I Got News for You), multi award-winner Laura Lexx, and more.

It’s 5 years since Laura’s critically acclaimed show 'Trying', her searingly honest, achingly funny experience of depression and trying for a baby. Since then she’s written another hit show, published two books, conquered TV comedy, created two hit podcasts, oh, and gained zero babies (unless you count the dog, which no one does). In this brand new show Laura explores life in the continuation of being childless; trying to be body positive about a body you loathe and trying not to get too attached to pigeons.

7 Days is a New Zealand comedy gameshow similar in some ways to the British program Mock the Week, hosted by Jeremy Corbett and created by The Down Low Concept. Paul Ego and Dai Henwood usually appear on each episode, along with other comedians, who form teams and answer questions about news stories from the last week.

Two teams fight it out to dodge detention, and put the cool back into school, in a mischievous mix of tongue-in-cheek comedy, off-the-wall questions, nonsensical studio games and slapstick challenges.
